And So I Pray
Kacey

Sometimes my worries and cares get me down
With an uncertain future~bad news all around

With nowhere to turn
to get rid of my fears
What can I do when deep despair nears?
I do what I learned as a child to do
When dark clouds loom~with no sunshine in view
I turn to the one thing
that I know will see me through
AND SO I PRAY

I can be so downtrodden and depressed deep within
and my heart can be broken
over and over again
and I don't think I'll make it just one more day
and I try to find answers
AND SO I PRAY

When I worry for my family
and I tremble with fear
at the awful things happening
year after year
~I know I can't change things
or bring about peace
I have to calm down
let my worries all cease
AND SO I PRAY



I weep for the victims of today's senseless crimes
I'd like to escape~go back to simpler times
I know that's not possible, reality must be faced
and I have to think of something
~this terror to erase
AND SO I PRAY

I pray and I feel a great sense of peace
My heart is less burdened and my worries have ceased
I put my life in God's trusting hands
I ask him to dispel my doubts
~to ease my frustrations and I know he hears me
so I just get my feelings out

He can calm every fear that is stifling me
~~spreads His arms wide and beckons me there
He speaks to me in a voice so soft
I find myself releasing every care



and I know that He stands
ready to help me
with unfailing love
When my eyes fill with tears
I cast them above

I will just keep on hoping
that one day there will be
a world of sweet peace
Is it ours to see?
OH GOD~I PRAY!
